Congressional Recognition Presentation

The Pennsylvania Association of Chamber Professionals (PACP) recognized their 2019 Chamber of the Year at its Awards Ceremony of the 2019 PACP Chamber Professionals & Leadership Conference held October 17, 2019 at the DuBois Country Club in DuBois, PA.  

The Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce was honored as the recipient of the prestigious award.

In addition to recognizing organization excellence, the PACP Chamber of the Year Award focuses on acknowledging one or more significant achievements / accomplishments that a chamber has initiated, stimulated, and/or led in its respective service area at some point during the past 18 months.  Organizational excellence is evaluated in the areas of membership, programs, planning, and finance.

The Chamber identified a top concern of its members as the workforce and the need for skilled employees.  The Chamber began researching and exploring a variety of options that could potentially enhance the value of the community’s workforce.  Throughout the process, the largest success was the opening of a local community college.  The new local community college campus was a joint effort led by the Chamber along with local community business leaders and government representatives.

U.S. Congressman Fred Keller will be presenting a Congressional Recognition to the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce at their headquarters in Shamokin Dam, PA on Monday, November 25th at 10:00am.
